[issue19066] os.execv fails with spaced names on Windows

[Richard Oudkerk]

Richard Oudkerk added the comment:

See

    http://bugs.python.org/issue436259

This is a problem with Window's implementation of spawn*() and exec*().  Just use subprocess instead which gets this stuff right.

Note that on Windows exec*() is useless: it just starts a subprocess and exits the current process.  You can use subprocess to get the same effect.
